Danielle Samake: From the Local to the Global: A Teen’s Passion for Human Rights

In March, Danielle represented the nonprofit organization Girls Learn International (GLI) as a student delegate to the 62nd annual Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations. She is passionate about human rights work, and has co-lead the club People On Women’s Equity and Rights (POWER) at her school since September 2016. She will discuss how this commitment was sparked and the experiences and the learning it has generated.

Danielle Samake is a junior at Columbia High School in Maplewood. She has been involved with the Ethical Culture Society since curiosity brought her in to hear a platform, and she got enlisted as an assistant in the new Family Education Program.
